Who? What? When? Where? Why? Link!: A Friday Smattering

Friday is upon us and I have a bunch music I wanted to get out but just didn’t get around to. Before this was an issue because music would go un-posted. However, today we try something new. So here we go. A Friday smattering of music. Get ready for auditory arousal people…. yeah, too much.

————————————————————————————————————————

Who: Shinies

What: “Pillow Talk”

When: April 16th, 2012

Where: Manchester

Why: Because it sounds like the best lo-fi up beat bedroom recorded music I’ve heard in a long time.

Who: Psychic Hill

What: “The Ghost of Yellow Dog”

When: July 13th, 2012

Where: Leeds

Why: Sticking with a lo-fi love-ability, Psychic Hill channels the best of the alt-rock from the nineties and releases it with a lackadaisical attitude of today which is startlingly similar to that of the 90’s.

Who: Dirt Farmer

What: “Johnny Marble”

When: April 20th, 20120

Where: Melbourne

Why: Because I really like how they blend a prototypical Australian sunny pop sound with a bluesy harmonica, classic rock guitar and harmonies of yesteryear.

Who: Swiss Lips

What: “U Got The Power”

When: 10 Months Ago

Where: Manchester

Why: Because harmless fun is deserved by us all after a work week and this upbeat “keep your head up-it’s all we got -song” is just that. Plus, dance battles.
